On the Red Eye out of NCL this morning.
Counted about 1 in 4 trays getting secondary manual intervention, each one required a bag or device opening, offending piece to be swabbed and taken to the analyser then re-packed.
At one point the secondary tray queue was so full it blocked the through flow. Counted 16 people milling about waiting for their bags and secondary screening.
On a busy holiday season day this would have caused huuuge lines.
Surely this must be training/teething issues.

The new Aspire Plus lounge is nice - still no proper HP sauce though :-)
